Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in per-
feet health; but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving it
up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that GREEN'S august FIoWer
will make them free from disease, as
when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of
seventy-five per cent. of such mall
aides as BiliousnesS, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, C~ostiveness, Nervous
Prostitution, Dizziness of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses
of AuguSt Floacer will prove its
wonderful effect.

A Wise Dog,

Baltimore American.
A large rat ran around a store-room,
trying to get out. A small dog, with
hardly an inch of tail, sat on that
inch on the floor, watched the rat,
but made no attempt to attack it. A
colored man seated on a box a few
feet away watched the action of both
with interest.
"What makes that dog do like
that?" asked a boy. why don't
he catch that rat?"
"W'at make dat dog do like dat ?
Why doan he ketch dat rat? Well,
I'll tell yer. One time dat dog got

Personal Points and Pithy Paragraphs

Since our last we attended a large
Sunday school picnic at Faulkner's
chapel. The crowd was large and
well behaved, showing that the
school and scholars that were in at
tendance had been well drilled and
disciplined Mt home. e
The exercises commenced at 10
o'clock by singing by the different
schools, and prayer by Elder Conner.
There were speeches by the repre-
sentatives of the schools, giving a
brief history of their work and pro-
gress for the last two or three years.
The speakers all did well for the
time allowed to each one. After the
addresses, which were interspersed
with good music throughout, the
good ladies spread a very fine dinner
and it was a picnic indeed. / know
that a compliment would not be out
of place.
By two o'clock the crowd had
gotten through with dinner,a and were
ready for further entertainment.
Bro. Conner was called for and made
q speech of about one half hour upon
the subject and in the interest of Sun
day schools and their work. At the
conclusion of his speech the brass
band from McMinnville arrived and
gave some fine strains of music, cheer
ing the hearts of all. Bro. Crawford
then addressed the people in an en-
thusiastic speech upon the subject Of
prohibition, giving facts and figures
which should certainly convince all
that prohibition when rightly defined
and understood would enhance the
prosperity of Tennessee in a very
short time, at least five, yes, ten fold,

der Bahona last night surprised and
took possession of Port La Union, San
Salvador. The garrison was betrayed
by two officers. The fight between the
revolutionists and government is re-
ported to have been severe. A thousand
government troops left the capital to-
day under General Amaya, but it will
take them two DAYS to reach Port La

WASHINGTON, September AT the
opening of the Medical Congress, Presi-
dent Da Wis called Professor Durante, OF
Rome, to the chair as vice president
from Italy, to preside while his COM
patriot from Naples, Professor Sem
mola, should read the paper of the day.
Professor Semmola took the ground
that modern tendencies were in the di-
xection of hypothesis and abstract
theory and urged return to safer and
more conservative, though perhaps
slower, me hods of experimentation
and exact ascertainment of facts. The
fundamental scope of medicine, he said
was the cure of disease. The progress
to-day in the art was hindered by a
tendency to bacteorology, which
threatened to grow into system
of itself, instead of becoming or remain
ing the handmade and auxiliary of en-
ployed II dicine. Certainly micros-
copic world does exist; the exploration
OF which brought to light myriads of
enemies of mankind; but the solution OF
the problems thus presented to the
practitioner, was, SIS yet, unattalnable.
The many theories we're presented for
the destruc ion of the microbe, which
causes disease would, if acted upon,
hrst, kill the patient and then doubtless
destroy the microbe. Doctors should
emancipate themselves from the I'M
proved theories of the present as we'll as
the unfounded dogmas of the past.
The professor was rendered vote o.
thanks for his paper.
The general session then adjourned
Ior the day.

Mr.. Reed and the West.

Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, who
recently visited the west, seems to have
been very much pleased with his trip,
and has done considerable since his re-
turn home, to advertise the land of the
sunset, In conversation with a Port
land Press man the other day, Mr.. Reed
said: II have been visiting the United
States. We had a trip of two months
which could not be equalled anywhere
else on the face of the earth. Yellow
stone Park, the great Columbia River,
Alaska, Salt Lake Valley, the canyons
of the Denver & Rio Grande, the

cades near Colorado Springs and Mani

of the Democratic party was held here
this evening. The first speech was
made by Hon. Thomas E. Powell, can
didate for Governor Mr.. Powell de.
voted nearly one-third of his time to
Governor Foraker and his administra-
ton. Speaking of what was demanded
of the Governor of Ohio, the
third State in the Union, he
said that Foraker's attack upon
President Cleveland, in his speech of
acceptance, was unworthy one aspiring
to snch high office, and for it he had
received condemnation at the hands of
private citizens and from the public
press throughout the country. He
claimed also that Governor Foraker
had publicly insulted the 400 900 Demo-
cratic voters of Ohio by referring to
them in his speech as the rebel
brigade" "confederstes, and "dirty
Democrats" Speaking of the rebel
flags, he said Governor Foraker, by his
conduct at the soldiers reunion, and
especially at Wheeling, had dis
gusted the best men of his own
party. He said the people wanted
a governor who would give less atten-
ton to a war that had ended twenty
years ago ago and more to the peaceful
problems of the present and future. He
gave facts upon which he based the
claim that CIeveland's administration
had done more for the soldiers than
any Republican administration, and
said the party which had done so well
with national affairs was the party to
be trusted with the administration of
state affairs.

derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages. but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,

ought to be got rid of. There is just

Shall We Eat Meat or Notp

Everybody will tell you now in this
season of summer that you ought not
to eat so much meat. TRY the veget-
arian diet" they say. Well, we have
tried the vegetarian diet until we are
sick of it. 1t is hard to get in America
and it is costly. And we believe any
way that man is carnivorous to large
degree. Still, vegetables ought to be
eaten ia their season. The only trouble
is one is so apt to get at hotels and res
Uaurants only such vegetables as have
lain in the sun and turned "ctiolera
green" OF course, there is risk in eat
ing such food. Better protect yourself
as well as possible by having always
within reach some BRANDRETH's PILLS.
A dose of three to ten, according to
your bulk, will generally act as a pre-
ventive agrinst sll diseases arising from
